### Input/Output Parameters

The command INCH_MODE and METRIC_MODE that change the measure unit at runtime are translated only as a variable assignment because PC-DMIS does not allow run time measure unit change.
Translator notifies the operator every time these instructions are encountered.

METRIC_MODE translates to è

ASSIGN/E.OFMT.METRIC=1

INCH_MODE translates to è

ASSIGN/ E.OFMT.METRIC=0

In PC-DMIS only angle output can displayed in the DMS format. This setting is a part program attribute and can not be changed at execution time. The DEG_MODE and DMS_MODE commands change the measurement unit format at runtime. They are translated as a variable assignment. This variable is used by DMS2DEG function.

DEG_MODE translates to è

ASSIGN/ E.OFMT.DMS=0

DMS_MODE translates to è

ASSIGN/ E.OFMT.METRIC=0

The SCALE Command is not translated.
